How to Disinfect and Prevent The Swine Flu

Influenza A(H1N1) virus is a subtype of influenzavirus A and the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. Some strains of H1N1 are endemic in humans and cause a small fraction of all influenza-like illness and a large fraction of all seasonal influenza. H1N1 strains caused roughly half of all human flu infections in 2006.[1] Other strains of H1N1 are endemic in pigs (swine influenza) and in birds (avian influenza).In June 2009, WHO declared that flu due to a new strain of swine-origin H1N1 was responsible for the 2009 flu pandemic. This strain is commonly called "swine flu" by the public media.Read more HERE.

How to Disinfect and Prevent The Swine Flu

Step1Swine flu is a respiratory disease caused by type A influenza virus. The disease can be spread form human to human.

Step2In the past the swine flu did not normal infect humans. However the virus has been apparently mutating. The symptom of swine flu include sore throat, body aches fever, cough and sometime diarrhea and vomiting.

Step3The bacteria and virus can live outside the body for up to 2 hours and sometimes longer. These germs spread when someone sneezes or coughs that grabs a door knob or pushes around a shopping cart. You come along touch these contaminated surfaces than touch your eye or eat something with your hands. SMOKERS and Nail biters are at a greater risk of infection because of the hand to mouth contact associated with these habits.

Step4After leaving a public place wash your hands before getting into your car or returning home. Carrying a bottle of an alcohol based waterless solution or wipes are great to carry around with you at all times. If you use a public restroom to wash your hands remember not to recontaminate them with touching the door handle. use a paper towel.That's why automatic dryers are worthless if you have to touch the door handle when you leave the restroom. The guy or girl before you may not have been as clean. ( Automatic Doors would be great )

Step5Bleach everything in your home from counter tops, your sinks, tables, toilets showers and shower sponges. Don't forget the door knobs and light switches. BLEACH kills everything. Good and bad so be careful have plenty of ventilation.

Step6Open up all your windows turn on your fans and keep the air circulating in your home. This helps rid your home of the bacteria.

Step8Buy a large can of Lysol spray that kills the Flu virus. Spray your mattresses, couch, pillows and even door knobs, light switches sink handles, washer machine handles any surfaces the infected person may have touched. Toilet handle especially.

Step9As an added step I bought Chlorascrub Swabs ( they even kill the MRSA virus. Visit the CDC link below to learn more on MRSA) and wiped our cell phones, remotes , including the Nintendo Wii , play stations, laptops and the kids game systems.

Step10Washing your hands with most soaps does nothing to kill viruses but rubbing them together with soap and water creating a lot of friction for at least 25 seconds or the time it takes you to say the alphabet than rinsing your hands under warm water starting at the wrist working down to the finger tips is all you need to remove unwanted bacteria.
